What is scRNAseq?

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a high-throughput technology used to measure the gene expression levels of individual cells. It is commonly used to study cellular heterogeneity, identify rare cell types, and understand developmental processes and disease mechanisms. It involves isolating single cells, lysing them, reverse transcribing RNA into cDNA, amplifying the cDNA, and then sequencing it using next-generation sequencing technologies. The resulting data is then analyzed to determine the expression profile of each cell.

What other technologies are related to scRNAseq?

scRNAseq Competitor Technologies

Bulk RNAseq measures the average gene expression across a population of cells, while scRNAseq measures gene expression in individual cells. Therefore, bulk RNAseq competes with scRNAseq.

scRNAseq Complementary Technologies

Spatial transcriptomics provides spatial information about gene expression, which can complement the single-cell resolution data from scRNAseq to understand the spatial context of cellular heterogeneity.

Proteomics measures protein abundance, which provides a different layer of biological information compared to scRNAseq (mRNA abundance). Combining proteomics and scRNAseq provides a more complete picture of cellular state.
